VW Transporter T4 Gear linkage issues - No 1st & 2nd gear

My VW Transporter T4 had just broken down as I entered my works car park to start work, my partner was due to drop me
off and go to work herself. Just as I drove in the entrance, 1st and 2nd gears could not be selected.

I parked up and called the RAC, I was told a repair van would be there within 1 hour.

Whilst waiting I lifted the bonnet and had a look, one of the gear linkage bushes had broken in two and the selector ball was floating around. I checked on line and found it was a common fault with T4 vans, and printed off a parts diagram.

When the RAC patrol came in 20 minutes I spoke to him and showed him the diagram. He checked it over and agreed that it was the broken bush and went to see if he could purchase one. 10 minutes later he is back with the bush, and had started to remove the bracket and fit it. 10 minutes after that the bush was fitted in place, greased up and the van was fixed and ready to go again!

Really impressed with the service, communication and repair of my Van, the bush cost £2.84.

This is the 2nd time that i have called the RAC since joining a year ago,

Thank you very much to the patrol man and RAC in General,

My day can continue and within 1 hour the van is fixed and running!
